AlphaShield's email review pitch for its product of the same name described it as "the only hardware firewall on the market that doesn't need any configuration. Installation takes only one minute. No maintenance. 100% Unhackable Guarantee or your money back".
It sure sounded like snake oil, but a quick check of AlphaShield's website showed the company to be legit. So I fired back an email to the AlphaShield rep. and a sample appeared at my door about a week later.
